About the Item

This charm came to us as melt-for-trade, but what kind of sadistic weirdo melts an adorable little fellow like this guy? Look at him! He's got his arms out! Waiting for a hug! We did elevate him a bit by giving him a good polish plus a sparkly garnet necklace from which to swing. Teddy's eyes are single cut diamonds, less than 0.01 carats each. He's 30mm long, including his nice big top loop. The necklace is a 16" double strand of 2mm hessonite garnets in delicious honey-brown -- Teddy's favorite color! This necklace was professionally strung specifically for Mr. Hugs,* so it's new except for the clasp, which is a 14 karat bayonet with figure 8 safety catch; this clasp is from our bottomless pile of clasps salvaged from pieces that were not cute enough to be saved from the melting pot. The pendant weighs 6.8 grams. It is solid 18 karat gold. * The loop on the bear is big enough to slip over the necklace, so pieces can be worn separately.

"Halfsies II" Rose Gold & Diamond Hamsa Pendant on Raw Diamond & Garnet Chain
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Eytan's latest hamsa is a redo of an earlier design. We call this design his Melee Muncher because it's the perfect platform for recycled diamonds -- stones extracted from jewelry that customers have brought in for melt value. These diamonds range in color and clarity and are generally fairly pedestrian -- in the SI range with a couple of VS2's -- but they're perfect for this pendant because, with the black background and the tight pavé, they can't help but pop. We love the idea of putting these stones to good use, and we love the way the mix of clarities and colors looks in such a tight formation. Two of the diamonds are single cuts and at least two are transitional (high crowns and tiny tables). The rest are full cuts. They range in size from 1mm to 2.5mm; the total carat weight for all 25 diamonds of 0.65 carats. The pendant is 14 karat rose gold with a satiny finish and a nice big top ring that will accommodate lots of different chain options, but we like our new garnet and rough diamond bead strand. This chain continues the recycling theme, using up 6...

"Open Halfsies" Hamsa with 0.78cts Diamonds in 18K Gold on Carnelian Necklace
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
This hamsa is one of Eytan Brandes' older designs, but he has realized it in many different iterations over the years, always keeping it fresh. In shimmery, satin-finished 18 karat yellow gold, this latest version is the first time he's tried opening up one side. The other side is pavé-set with 25 diamonds. In keeping with tradition, he used all different size stones because this design is one of Eytan's favorite ways of using diamonds from Eytan's Big Box o' Recycled Diamonds! These are stones, mostly of average or below average clarity -- pulled from the thousands of pieces of jewelry that have come through the store over the years on their way to be melted and made by Eytan into something better. The stones used for this pendant range in size from 0.8mm to 2.2mm for a total diamond weight of 0.78 carats. Eytan used diamonds that would be considered "slightly included," avoiding the ones that would be classified as "included." (In other words, he used SI1-2's and avoided the I's, with the exception of the stone at the very top, which is a straight I2.) Most of the stones are full cut, but since a lot of these diamonds came from older jewelry, there are a few single cuts as well. Meticulously set, everybody gets their job done, especially set against yellow gold, which can't help but elevate their color. All stones are earth-mined, natural and untreated. We love putting these stones to good use, and we love the way a bit of careful sorting can bring stones from 25 different pieces of uninspired jewelry together to act as a unified team in something new, beautiful and wearable. Go team! The bale* is teardrop-shaped and decent-sized (8.5mm x 6.5mm), allowing for many chain options, but we like our bright red carnelian bead necklace...
